iFrame in Rich Text Editor

Avatar

Level 1

Hi Community,

I'm trying to add an iframe via rich text editor (RTE). It works whilst in edit mode but after I click save it no longer appears because the src attribute has been stripped from the iframe element. I guess this means the RTE does not support iframe by default. Is this correct? If so can the RTE be configured to support iframe?

Many thanks in advance.

I do not think this is supported - i am double checking.

I am not clear why you would even want an iframe for a RTE.

escapeXml="true" - is not allowing it.

The RTE in the COre components - like the Text component works perfectly fine.

Hi,

Just to clarify, are you saying that using the Core text component it is possible to include an iframe where the src attribute is not removed?

As i asked in the thread last year - why do you want to override the RTE by using an IFRAME. The RTE works fine as is.

Hi Mac,

I am slo getting same issue with RTE component 

I added below text in RTE:

<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQf4qIju0_E"></iframe></p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/33698814"></iframe></p>

 

Now when i exit the edit mode and preview in page its showing only youtuve whereas vimeo or anyother player its not showing up.Its cleaning it up automatically as shown below.

<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQf4qIju0_E">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;...>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;</iframe></p>

Hi @RajaShankar were you able to resolve this? I am getting the exact same behavior. Thanks!

so many platforms will provide iframes so we can embed their widgets in our webpages. that is a super common thing. I'm having the same issue right now (RTE not accepting iframes). Have you ever used embed-codes before?
